Immediately following the game, the Braves invite all children 14 and under to take the field for Kids Run the Bases.

In recognition of the incredible support Tim and Kim Hudson and their foundation, The Hudson Family Foundation, has provided CHOA, Tim will be presented with oversized "Get Well Soon" cards.
